Panagiotis Nestor, father of politician Aphrodite Nestor, has been discharged from Hippocration Hospital after being treated for respiratory problems. His hospitalization followed an arson attack in Thessaloniki.
May the loss of my wife be the last.
"May the loss of my wife be the last," Nestor stated in his first remarks outside the hospital. He condemned the perpetrators, saying, "Some criminals for me wanted to take lives, without thinking about the pain they can cause for their own sick thoughts or ideas. I hope those who did this do not suffer something similar in their own families." He added, "I believe our Democracy has the strength to find them and try them justly, as it always does."

Nestor stressed the cowardly and hateful nature of the attack, saying, "The loss of my wife be the last with such insidious, unmanly blows that show hatred for all of us." He shared his personal grief, noting, "We are left, the two of us, with Aphrodite. We will fight and we will be victorious."
The loss of my wife be the last with such insidious, unmanly blows that show hatred for all of us.
The date of his wife's funeral will depend on when Aphrodite Nestor is discharged from the hospital. The funeral will take place in Kozani, where their daughter is also buried.
We are left, the two of us, with Aphrodite. We will fight and we will be victorious.
